Since I’m using Intel GFX, I’ll need another solution, but when I keep the NUC plugged into the 1 x 2 spitter and AVR I never have to do anything because the NUC is powered 24/7 and the splitter seems to make the NUC think it’s on and working.  So in that config it works.

Now to what I got working. It seemed to be a combination of not rebooting the NUC once everything was connected and the audio settings in the mythfrontend. 

Now both TV’s audio and video work when the audio settings unchecked DTS and Dolby Digital and set to stereo. My AVR interprets that and sets up for Dolby Pro Logic.  When I change the mythfrontend audio to DTS, Dolby Digital, and 5.1, the AVR changes to Dolby Digital, but the other TV’s sound goes off.  So I can either live with Pro Logic or change it back and forth.  I just need to leave it in Stereo when I cut off the Family room system so the bedroom TV will work.
